Help Us Grow Our Community Space

We are upping our funding goal to allow us to improve our facilities and obtain necessary equipment and supplies to better manage our many workshops, events and happenings.

Growing Food & Community

Our urban micro-farm sprouted in 1985 and is located in the middle of Pasadena, California.

It is a successful, real-life working model for sustainable agriculture and living in urban areas.

From this bountiful one-tenth of an acre city lot, we grow and sell seasonal vegetables, herbs, fruits and edible flowers.


We believe the most radical thing someone can do is either grow their own food or make dinner at home. With this mission in mind, our community outreach was seeded in 2001, activating the modern homestead movement. Millions worldwide were inspired to take small steps towards a more sustainable life.

Growing the Future

To help us provide you with amazing local food and to continue growing our community outreach, our goal is to raise money for new or used items for the Urban Homestead's kitchen and farm.

With the new cottage food bill that allows us to sell directly from our kitchen, we’d want to provide our customers with even more baked goods, soups and preserves.

Not only are we growing and preserving food but community, too. With farm dinners and skill-share workshops, our little farm in the city is fostering a face-to-face relationships where people come meet other people.


Our home, turned homestead, is now a "Homestead Hub" offering many events a month - from farm dinners, to after school programs, workshops and more!

To accommodate this growth, we need to make basic improvements and upgrades to our facility .

We would like to acquire the following NEW or USED items:
